A listers are circles, B are crosses.
Networks
Leaving out the few unconnected festivals from this one for better layout. Zoomable; hover to see labels, click on nodes to see connections.
As a matrix
Color is n shared films (edge strength). This is actually more informative than a network plot, as it easily shows both degree and strength for all pairs of festivals/nodes, while a network plot
- hides information due to overlaps, such as long-distance links
- can only effectively show degree (strength as edge weight is lost is the mess)
- can create incidental visual artefacts that can mislead interpretation due to the semi-random layout.
So tbh we should probably use a matrix instead, but I’m aware networks look aesthetically cooler, and that some of us have interest in having a network-person profile. So maybe a network and a matrix side by side, would that be useful…? Interactive networks are of course a bit better, as you can zoom into the mess (try above).
